Wow!  Can't believe I'm not 26 weeks.  Went to Dr's today, and all looks healthy.  Have gained about 8 lbs, and have a small but noticeable bump!  I can now feel thebaby kick/move frequently, and it is such a wonderful feeling. Overall, am enjoying pregnancy.  

Sometimes it still seems surreal that I am pregnant, especially after going through iui.  To be honest, I don't think of the baby as anyone's apart from my husband's & mine.  I know the baby has genes from a donor, but this hasn't taken away from the joy of a new life coming into the world.  I think my husband feels the same.  We have told our family and close friends about the iui, but a lot of people don't know...  regardless, it feels so right for us to be having a baby together. 

I do wonder what the baby will look like when it's born- whether it will look like me... or someone else... I guess time will tell.  

 As I write this diary entry, I am thinking of all the other people in this online community, and hope that positive changes/ events are on the horizon for many.  I feel that I have been blessed to be having a baby, especially after several fertility challenges.

Keep believing and it will happen.
